I love how you implemented the theme into your game! The puzzles are very well-thought out, too. Some of them took me several minutes to solve. =O

Learning From The BestReally clever and inventive puzzle design, with a consistently pretty and calming aesthetic. This is 100% my exact king of game, was puzzle platformer with a unique hook that gets extrapolated out to really creative puzzles, so maybe I am just the target audience, but I did love this. But there were a number of instances, starting around level 12, where I could see what the solution to the puzzle was, but couldn't quite execute the platform timing to solve it. I would recommend lowering the platform difficulty slightly, and implementing coyote-time to make some of the jumps slightly more forgiving. But overall, this was truly excellent work. Great job!

Exponential ExpansionEven though the UI elements don't fit on the screen even in fullscreen mode, the concept of the game is really cool!

COVID-19: The Beginningthat's a really odd and really good puzzle game! really good entry

Melomaniac: Musical Espionage ActionSick game, really like how something like clipping through objects which would be seen as a bug in most games, you have turned into an actual mechanic.
Brilliant work, looks great too!

Space FactoryAs everyone said, best puzzle game of the jam.
So simple but yet so interresting. The 2nd puzzle made me see the potential : "WOW".
Really good job, very elegant!

Engineer of LifeWowwww, this is easily my favorite game of the jam so far. Such simple, elegant mechanics, sooooo many fun well designed puzzles, and a great response to the theme. Truly masterful job. I'd be surprised if you didn't make top 100 or 20. WELL DONE!

Staircase of SongThis is such a cute game! I love the art style, its simple but also has a lot of character. I really liked having that skip button too so I could playing the game even though I couldn't pass a level. Super fun!!

Scales to Scale the ScaledI'll start with the criticism, but before anything know that your game is AMAZING.
I encountered a few issues while playing, mostly that some platforms were almost invisible due to them being the same color as the background. I felt that the character controller could also use some work: jumping while going sideways limits your jump height, no coyote time, etc.
On the puzzle side, I had trouble timing everything on level 16, skipped it (thanks!), struggeled through 17 and quit at 18, but everything before was pure puzzling joy <3
Your mechanics are new and well implemented (which I imagine is no small feat), and the level design makes them shine even brighter: truly an incredible puzzle game and an outstanding jam entry.
Thanks for your game, and huge congratulations!

Grow-BotA huge thank for the sincere feedback! I really regert letting the contrast problem and controller slip the polishing ( and spent half my time for a effect that doestnt work well on web ). This is a great lesson taught. Thanks for playing! I'll make more better-polished games, trying my best in mechanics, levels, art and of course, the controller. Thanks again!
very interesting mechanic, fun puzzle game overall ദ്ദി（• ˕ •マ.ᐟ
